How the Irish Saved Civilization, Thomas Cahill

This Irish book contains the unknown story of Ireland's heroic role from the fall of Rome to the rise of Medieval Europe. Thomas Cahill's How the Irish Saved Civilization is the entertaining and compelling narrative that explains how Ireland became the "Isle of Saints and scholars" that preserved Western culture. While Europe was in its dark ages, the Irish scribes and monks maintained the record of Western civilization by copying manuscripts while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost. Thomas Cahill brilliantly recounts this period of Irish History with this Great Irish Book named How the Irish Saved Civilization.
